Winter Olympics: How LA Kids Can Learn Olympic Sports
Submitted by Roberta B on
Winter Olympics may come only every four years, but winter and snow sports are available to our California kids every year, almost year round. Even so, while figure skating, skiing, and hockey draw fans fairly reliably each winter, there's nothing quite like the excitement of Sochi (or Vancouver, or Salt Lake) to get kids interested in speed skating, ski jumping, freestyle snowboarding, ice dancing, and even curling. These are the sports that only get our attention when broadcast from exotic locales every fourth year; but this may be just the chance you're looking for to experiment with - and perhaps embrace - a new and off-the-beaten-path winter sport.
